Dave Barr is a native Californian who rode his 1972 Harley-Davidson around
the world. His journey carried him across six continents and took a grueling three
and a half years (September 1990 - May 1994) and 83,000 ridden miles to complete. To
date, only eighty-nine others have successfully toured the world on motorcycle, but Dave
is the only one to do it on a Harley. If this wasn't enough of a distinction, he's
also the only disabled person to have accomplished such a feat. Dave is a double amputee, who lost both of his legs to a land mine explosion in Angola in 1981.
Dave has written and published "Riding The Edge", a five hundred
page book which documents his journey around the world and has also produced a video by
the same name.

Deciding
he needed yet another challenge, Dave set out on another adventure in the winter of
1996-97. This time he would establish a Guinness Book World Record for his efforts.
The journey started at Le Conquet, France on the Atlantic coast and carried him across Europe,
Russia and Siberia all the way to the Pacific Ocean. If the trip wasn't enough of a
challenge itself, this entire motorcycle adventure was done in the dead of
winter. The total mileage of the journey was 13,000 ridden miles.

Riding The Ice is the 240 page book chronicling this
amazing motorcycle adventure in the below freezing temperatures of Russia and
Siberia. Click the link below for some great pictures.

If you mention this web
page Dave Barr will personally autograph your book for you.

Not surprisingly, Dave
received many requests to speak to various audiences about his experiences. As a
result, he made a career change and has now successfully made the transition into the
field of motivational/inspirational speaking. He has spoken to various international
business corporations, military groups, public service organizations and charitable
foundations throughout the world.
